While the negotiations are taking place between the US and Russia about Ukraine Russia is hanging out Ukraine for attacking their energy infrastructure.
What they do not talk loudly about is the fact that Russia attacked civilian buildings all over Ukraine. According to mayor Artem Kobzar of Sumy Russian missiles targeted children’s establishments and a hospital.
Sumy is next to the Kursk border and can be seen as the center of the northeastern part of the Sumy Region. As far as I’ve found 65 is wounded and out of those 14 is children…
Among other buildings that’s been hit is a school and several high-rise residential buildings.
It is quite clear that Russia do not care about Trump’s cease fire. The deal was no attacks on infrastructure and energy structures. Something Russia broke within hours after the talks between Putin and Trump last week.
There is no value in Putin’s words. He is and always will be a terrorist. The fact that Trump believe the Russian propaganda is correct and take the Russians side is so destructive that it will disrupt and cause the Euro-American relationship to sour for decades.
If Russia wanted peace or a cease fire they could have gotten it at any point during the war. They could just stop attacking and withdraw from Ukraine soil. As long as Russia continue to attack civilian targets in Ukraine then Ukraine has the right to strike back where it hurts Russia the most – their energy infrastructure.
If there is to be a peace coming out of the talks between the US and Russia that can be accepted by Europe and Ukraine alike, then Russia will have to withdraw from the occupied territories and pay reparations for the damage they have caused.
If it ends with Trump forcing Ukraine and thus also Europe’s hand to accept handing over the occupied territories Putin will look at that as a win. We all know what his next move is then. It is a green light for Putin, showing that he can get wins out of attacking again or/and attack other nations in Europe.
The big question is: Should just Putin be put on trial in Haag or should Trump join him for the treason of Europe and the aid to a enemy?
Here is a video from youtube that show some of the damage to the city:
